beyond technology!!!

AntHeald: Oh yeah = #ukedchat, I nearly forget. Going to have to take my daughter to bed soon
though. Is there *ever* a good time??!
6/24/2010 19:58

colport: The World Cup is affecting twitter, I think, and therefore may delay #ukedchat postings.
But let's see how it goes.
6/24/2010 19:58

AntHeald: The crushingly obvious point is that the hardware & network need to be robust enough not
to fall over. Puts people right off tech #ukedchat

6/24/2010 20:02

alexfindlayVLE: when a teacher is told that technology will 'save you time' really puts teachers off from
trying, esp older teachers #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:02

bevevans22: Also training for the phobic needs to be inspiring, useful and user friendly - too many are
put off using tech by boring sessions #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:02

carolrainbow: @colport Share loads of Teachmeet videos - try to inspire them with all those wonderful
ideas :-) #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:02

nellmog: I think differentiated training is the key so people see the true relevance to the teaching
and learning in their classrooms #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:02

colport: RT @dailydenouement: Ensuring all teachers have access to tech. In my dept alas that is
not the case. Hard to enthuse folk. #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:02

kvnmcl: @colport We have start in our own schools first, get the staff and children excited about
the technology and its effectiveness #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:03

Joga5: @AntHeald I agree but there are also significant issues around teacher attitudes,
confidence, pedagogy and *trusting* children #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:03

colport: I am sure we all know teachers who don't use technology at all in their teaching. Are they
the ones we focus on first? #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:03

carolrainbow: Maybe mentoring programmes #ukedchat

6/24/2010 20:03

Natty08: You need to enthuse. So many think what is the point. #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:03

aangeli: hi - joining you tonight for #ukedchat

6/24/2010 20:04

Natty08: Lack of technology and computers that work can pose issues also #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:04

Joga5: @alexfindlayVLE @bevevans22 Good points that techy training has alienated some
#ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:04

dailydenouement: Decent laptops? Laptops at all would be a start! #ukedchat

6/24/2010 20:04

aangeli: in my experience it's all about CPD and a real emphasis on the C #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:04

bevevans22: @carolrainbow I agree. The relaxed manner of TeachMeets+ real life suggestions of
useability in class = inspiration! #ukedchat

ianinsheffield: #ukedchat An important point I feel is "effectively" and what we mean by that ... or can it
just be "more" use of tech?
6/24/2010 20:05

eyebeams: Make its use deeply embedded - highly relevant and emotionally engaging - make sure it is
contextually invaluable #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:05

dughall: For the next hour I'll be tweeting about #ukedchat. Tonight's topic: "How can we get more
teachers to use tech effectively in teaching?"

dughall: RT @grahamcullen: #ukedchat Teacher's must have decent laptops!

6/24/2010 20:05

aangeli: and using technology in a differentiated manor - just as you would with ANY learning tool
#ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:05

nellmog: To much training focuses on what the tech can do rather than hands on how to do
#ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:06

Natty08: Is it about accepting that some older members of staff will never use it and focus on those
that should be using it? #ukedchat

6/24/2010 20:06

bevevans22: @colport I would say it starts with the staff training, which should include ideas of how you
fit things into your lessons #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:06

Joga5: @AntHeald Does this mean that the pioneers need to sometimes check their use of
technology to ensure that it is viable for all? #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:06

alexfindlayVLE: Are teachers still concerned that pupils might 'know more than they do?' so not willing to
try new stuff? #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:06

carolrainbow: @colport Not sure that the phobic teachers are the best to start with - the on-the-edge
ones may be better - make them sucessful #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:06

colport: RT @carolrainbow: Maybe mentoring programmes #ukedchat <Sounds good, but do we

force those who 'don't do tech'?
6/24/2010 20:06

CoachB0066: @colport focus first on the tchrs who do use tech well, then have them mentor those who
are resistant #ukedchat

sciencelabman: we have to be ambassadorrs for how to use to technology in the classroom. #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:07

Joga5: @carolrainbow We used mentoring in our place (mainly Year 4 and Year 5 children
mentoring staff scared of technology breaking) #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:07

janwebb21: @colport perhaps building confidence for those who are tentative users is better way in
than those who have all brick walls built #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:07

carolrainbow: Success shared may inspire others to try in a simple way - that is the time to try to capture
the phobic #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:07

Natty08: Training should focus on one or two things only not throw a lot at you.But you need a head
that is willing to invest time #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:07

janwebb21: @aangeli absolutely - shared planning and shared teaching is really useful way into this

6/24/2010 20:08

colport: @kvnmcl I think the impetus needs to come from the top. If the leadership is adverse to
tech, is it a losing battle #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:08

mbarrow: Drip feeding rather than saturating teachers with too many ideas. Having time to 'play' not
just during a twilight. #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:08

bevevans22: And training for staff needs to be hands on too - setting them challenges and giving
opportunity to explore ideas #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:08

AntHeald: @Joga5 Agreed: but if takes10 mins to logon, laptop doesn't have uptodate
flash/browser,then network fails yr knackered OOPS #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:08

iteachyear4: Or access to laptops for the children - not have them locked away or booked out by one
year group #ukedchat

tj007: Technicians&IT managers need to be brought on board to ensure network and computers
don't add to the excuses of reasons not to try #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:09

greeninkuk: At my school I have become unofficial tech help as apparently I am 'nice' so think its about
the support + willingness to go slow #ukedchat

benefits too #ukedchat

grahamcullen: @colport #ukedchat But it's the main thing that holds those without the skills back. The
less skilled IT users seem to get the poor kit
6/24/2010 20:11

dailydenouement: There is a definite dislike of things being 'imposed' so tech has to be seen as adding value
or people will continue to bury heads #ukedchat

schools #ukedchat

Natty08: Time to play is very important! Not just showing. Do in a room that has suitable equipment
for all to use #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:12

bevevans22: Also some teachers need clarity on what ICT is. It's not just computers and word
processing - so much more and something for all #ukedchat

but looks good. #ukedchat
6/24/2010 20:14

alexfindlayVLE: I think that technology needs to become more invisible. Very easy to use stuff, so staff
don't feel like they're using technology #ukedchat

is shiny. #ukedchat

sucess is powerful e.g. wallwisher #ukedchat

individual, which includes tech #ukedchat
